	 <p>Both the debug and release versions of Intel&reg; Threading Building Blocks
		(Intel&reg; TBB) consists of two dynamic shared libraries, one with general support
		and the other with a scalable memory allocator. The latter is distinguished by 
		<samp class="codeph">malloc</samp> in its name. For example, the release versions
		for Windows* OS are 
		<samp class="codeph">tbb.dll</samp> and 
		<span class="filepath">tbbmalloc.dll</span> respectively. Applications may choose
		to use only the general library, or only the scalable memory allocator, or
		both. See the links below for more information on memory allocation.
